Is how many users stopped posting in the last 4 weeks vs. how many new follows a solid idea for a Bluesky “churn rate”? Maybe with the option to go to last 6 months?

Failing hard even on potentially small problems aligns much better with my software development style, and should be, I would argue, the standard at least when prototyping apps.

Was sind wirklich gute Pflegeheime in Hamburg und Umgebung? Mein Eindruck vom aktuellen Heim meiner Mutter ist, dass Bewohner:innen die körperlich stark eingeschränkt sind primär verwahrt werden. Doof nur, wenn man dann noch geistig halbwegs beieinander ist.

I am such a cynic, asking myself why someone would publish a hit piece on OpenAI right now. (Didn't everybody already leave years ago?)

Reminders keep stacking up. Same as mail count. What am I even doing?

Walking home at night, seeing many addicts in the streets, sometimes lighting their pipes, sometimes preparing syringes, sometimes trailing pedestrians, spitting at them and barking.

Who is your user?

If capitalism was really working, I would have been able to invest in Anthropic a year ago.

it's not abandoned. we iterated on the communities concept after you left. it's on the horizon. events are top of funnel. goal is to harness these to draw people into communities. come for the event, find your niches (communities), and then connect with people in more siloed / private spaces.

divepool delivers best results for me, meaning I seem to discover the most interesting accounts, when I provide somewhat divisive statements, e.g. divepool.social/query/mmt%20.... Searching for fault lines, and then zeroing in on the most original thinkers or sth.. Trying to automate this even more.

If you would like to sample some embeddings, you can subscribe to the @divepool.social embedding firehose. It has no buffer yet, so if conn drops, you will lose events. It can support 50 parallel connections right now, and you will get 128 dimension embeddings. More info: tangled.org/divepool.soc...

Argh, seems there might be a subtle embedding bug (already fixed in newer version) in an upstream package, meaning I have to embed everything once again. Weeks of work😭. This stuff really takes time. I could also stay on the buggy version, but then would be incompatible to embeddings from elsewhere.

My leg muscles totally atrophied after using the elevator at the conf hotel for a week.

747 seven isle seat. Middle seat empty. Living the dream.

Feel like wanting to apologize all the time.

Still haven’t got my access key so wouldn’t even know, what all the fuss is about.

you say casino, I say feeds

I've built Bluenotes, a fork of the Bluesky app with Community Notes. Phase 1 beta is live. bluenotes.social Looking for thoughtful early testers. The algorithm needs data from diverse perspectives before it can identify helpful notes, so we're building that foundation first.

Would definitely be very interested in the outcomes of this!

I do not know, what I fear more: our children having perfect transparency into our past posts in the future, or they never looking at them.

Falls jemand in München Interesse an einem atproto meetup hat, schreibt mir einfach :) If anyone in Munich is interested in an atproto meetup, let me know :)

5 hour flight delay tomorrow. May hack at Z-Space after all.

Woo woo!

BTW haven’t talked once about soccer while in Vancouver. Great conference, thank y’all so much!

Got some children books in Vancouver. Two at kidsbooks, two at White Dwarf, both amazing stores.

Goodbye Vancouver! And the elevator at Gage Suites at UBC. I think the elevator track at the #ATmosphere conference is where I made the most interesting connections.

Had a dream where I was in a room where a radio show was going on, and there was a knock at the door, and I opened it and it was Godzilla, who walked in, sat down, put on a headset, adjusted the mic, and roared.

After some excellent power user feedback now experimenting with recency bias to get fresher results and allowing to copy post content as markdown to process elsewhere. divepool.social/flags

LLM assisted coding turns everything into a hackathon.

Back from #Atmosphereconf and feeling full with ideas, community, and goose-themed apparel! Now I'm ready to get to work 😎 Shout-out to @goose.art for this incredible sweater 🙌

Going to watch Star Trek for a week now and eat sweet food, then salty food, then sweet food again. And take hot baths. Maybe take a stroll. Sleep in. Stuff like that.

Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.

a successful last dinner with @graham.systems @gov.glados.computer @meri.garden @ngerakines.me @laurenshof.online @raedisch.net @essentialrandom.bsky.social @vicwalker.dev.br @riccardo.bsky.social @trezy.codes thanks @quillmatiq.com for organizing!

First talk of the aftetnoon and we love the title @gov.glados.computer!

Fixed it😎.

Jasper is at #AtmosphereConf and launching divepool.social divepool is a discovery tool for posts and people based on topic clusters. Enter a handle or query, see matches in topic clusters, then go from cluster to cluster to find the best matches. Learn more here: divepool.social/blog...

s/o @raedisch.net I'm checking out my clusters on divepool.social

Just type your handle in!!! You know you want it. Also: around till Monday. Please reach out!

Dang, I wanted to plug divepool.social more. Have you heard about it. It’s awesome to discover accounts by vibe surfing the content graph. Or sth..

You see the 16:00 session? That’s me! Keywords vs Embeddings. Right now!

How did this one go under my radar? Premium tv night recommendation by @gov.glados.computer, talking about how in the future, we might not have to dominate anymore, in order to succeed.

Community is the only moat.

So, attie, huh… . Crazy stuff! Building what I only slowly am realizing is a very probable future. Could be a great Bluesky UPS/moat/pull factor at least for a while.

Taking away from @mosh.bsky.social ‘s talk her thought: could a coop bundle “features” from all the emerging atproto apps to do sales to brands?

BO… BO… BORIS! #ATmosphereConf

Was totally blown away by the afternoon lightning talks yesterday #ATscience. Insights into thread analyses, atproto (de-)centralization and sparse?!😅 auto encoders.

Anybody wanna walk through the park for an hour or so? #ATmosphereConf #ATscience

Drink water!

The thought of going back to my dayjob after this, having to shelve all of the inspiration I found here ALREADY (even though conf hasn’t even started) fills me with immense dread. And my dayjob is actually fun😅.
